Cuts
Sapphires are faceted, meaning the grinding and polishing of faces on the gem as to affect the best play of light in the stone. The size and shape of the natural crystal most often determines the cut of sapphire or ruby. Sapphire Gallery uses standard cuts including shield, kite, princess, triangle, and modified standard cuts. We specifically denote each gem shape at correct angles for you.
